Cuenca and the Southern Highlands Sights

Parque Abdón Calderón

Plaza/Square/Piazza

Fodor's Review

Surrounded by beautiful colonial buildings, Cuenca's central square is one of the loveliest in South America. Manicured trees tower over men discussing politics, grandmothers walking arm in arm, and children running to and fro. The park is dominated by the pale rose Catedral de la Inmaculada towering over its western edge.
